[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1218062, member: 4191"] The only negative to lapping rings that I can think of, is that their re-sale value will be reduced. Other than that, a light lapping of the lower half of any set of rings can only improve the ring to scope body fit. If the base and ring parts/pieces don't assemble to culminate in a great fit to the scope tube, then proper lapping can only improve the fit between the scope tube to ring mating surfaces. I can't imagine any situation where lapping of the lower half of the scope rings would hurt, rather than improve, the fit between the mating surfaces. If the fit prior to lapping is way off, something is probably wrong with the rings or bases or the alignment of the base screws on the action. [/QUOTE]
